A new ancient tablet review tells the story of God’s salvation Grom Ishkur from another world.
Scientists have defined the ancient Sumerian myth, contained in a clay plate age of about 4400 years. Although due to cracks, the text is not fully preserved, enough to create an idea of the plot, the IFLSCIENCE reports.
The assignment of the NII 12501 code was created around 2400 BC in the city of Nippur – one of the autonomous Sumerian cities in Mesopotamia, in the territory of modern Iraq. The city is a religious center dedicated to God Enlil, the patron saint of wind, wind, land and storm in the mythology of the Sumero-Akkadian.
Although the plate was found in the 19th -century, its text has long remained out of attention by the researchers due to poor conditions. Only now, experts have managed to establish that Cuneiform described about events in the Sumerian Underground world events.
The myth speaks of the disappearance of the rain of the rain, Ishkur, leading to serious consequences: the drying of rivers, the death of animals and the suffering of the people. To save the situation, God praises Enlil the council of the gods. The task of returning the order is unexpectedly takes on a FOX – a character that has previously been of the main importance of Mesopotamian myths.
One of the episodes describes how it penetrates the underground world with the help of tricks, which refuses to eat and drink – important symbolic elements in a context of legend. Signing breaks on this, so the final story remains mystery, but even this part of the text gives us to draw important conclusions. First, Enlil certainly acts as the main God of the Sumerian Pantheon, as it began with the conference of the gods. Second, the outline of Ishkur’s disappearance can be interpreted as an explanation of the legend of drought times, because he is the god of storm and rain.
Researchers also pay attention to the image of the “helpless” god saved by the hero – in this case a cunning animal.
We will remind you, earlier reported that AI has been dedicated to Babylonian song, lost more than a thousand years ago.
